I have a few animals at home with me and I love them all :) Iv'e been doing lots of research on Guinea Pigs because I'd like to own one of the cute furries :) I hope to learn a lot here and meet some nice people! This forum seems awesome and so do the people! Hope to talk to some of you!

Welcome! What animals do you have now? You have to be careful about their interaction with the piggy. I have 2 senior cats that just watch the guinea pig. They are not really interested in him. When he is out of his cage, they hide. Good luck on your research.

Welcome Kelly! You will find the GP community full of compassionate, friendly people who love GP's. Read thru the threads and find great info on everything you will need for your pig to have the best life. I know there is a great GP rescue near Chicago. I will have to get back at you over the rescue as it's name has slipped my mind right now.
Looking forward to sharing with you.

Welcome!
I was also going to encourage you to visit the Critter Corral-they would be a great place to adopt from.

Welcome! :) I volunteer with Critter Corral. You can visit our site at Critter Corral. We're having our annual Critter Corral Guinea Pig Rescue Open House on Sunday, November 13 from 1 to 4 at Willard Wood Park Center located at 515 1st Street in Crete IL. We'll have lots of guinea pigs up for adoption, food, raffles and a guinea pig costume contest. It's a great way to meet a lot of guinea pig lovers in the Chicagoland area. If you're looking to adopt now, visit our site and contact us to send you an application. We're licensed by the IL Department of Agriculture. Lots of nice people involved with Critter Corral.

Hello and welcome! I'm about an hour away from chicago, and highly recommend the Critter Corral. I have directly dealt with Rose on a few occassions, and she is awesome! I have never adopted from them as I ended up with a rescued sow from craigslist who turned out pregnant... So, I have my hands full with my five, but my next adoption will be through them. Any questions feel free to ask, many knowledgable people willing to help!
